Rio Ave vs Chaves Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Liga Portugal on Sunday, 26 February 2023.
Neither Rio Ave nor Chaves are having a consistent form in the league of late. They both are positioned outside the top half of the standings too.

Rio Ave was unbeaten in 8 of the last 10 head to head encounters against Chaves. The reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw.
At this venue, Rio Ave have been the dominant force for the past two decades. On top of that they are on a four-fixture winning streak at the moment.
Rio Ave have returned back to the winning ways at home by sealing a victory over Estoril in the previous outing. They were having a three-game winless streak before sealing that win.
Meanwhile, Chaves follows a five-game winless streak at home across competitions. Rio Ave, who have won four of the last seven home matches definitely looks better than Chaves.
Moreover, Rio Ave have been the dominant force in the history of this match-up here. Thus, we expect a win for the home side at Estadio do Rio Ave on Sunday.
These two teams have the lowest number of over 2.5 goals recordings this season. Around 70% of the matches played by these two had goals under 2.5. thus, we expect a low-scoring display here.
Rio Ave have kept a clean sheet in three of the past six home outings. We expect them to bag another one on Sunday as they faces Chaves who owns an average offensive line.
Rio Ave and Chaves are having a difference of two points in the table. We expect Rio Ave to seal a victory here considering all the above observations and to climb past Chaves in the standings.
We like to place it as the main tip at 2.05 odds. For the second tip, under 2.5 goals at 1.65 odds seems ideal considering the goal-trend of both.
